In this challenge, you will race 5 miles down the beach to the rocks... catch a fish over 12 inches in length... then race back to the finish line. The last person to finish is eliminated, and goes home.

First person to put the 5 rods together and correctly rig them wins this challenge. That's Chris on the far right in the green shirt.

A good fisherman is able to "feel" the slightest strike by a fish… Everyone put on your blindfold, and feel the strike.
